Kyle Hendricks will take the mound on Friday night at American Family Field, where the Cubs will be looking to make the most of their last chance. The Cubs are supported by an impressive offense, ranked sixth in scoring with an average of 5.4 runs per game this month. From September 19-27th, they have produced 54 runs in eight games, while also boasting MLB's fifth best OBP. With a power ranking of 12, they are also 11th in slugging percentage and 7th in stolen bases (191 home runs, and 22.3% strikeouts). The Cubs playoff fate lies on the shoulders of their pitching staff, who will be looking to capitalize on their offensive support.
